Updated the opening post with a new article over at Intel.com, describing more about the technical and graphical techniques behind the game (worth reading imo).

Luetscher explained that the benefits of multi-core are dramatic in the new game. â€œThe cost of physics used to be our dominant cost, and now itâ€™s for free. Imagine that. While the renderer is doing its job, we donâ€™t feel the computational pain of the physics at all. We use physics pretty heavily in this game, and it comes free to the end user on a multi-core, multi-threaded CPU such as the IntelÂ® Coreâ„¢ i7 processor. Low-cost physics took a little getting used to,â€ he admitted.

The game still runs on high-end single-core machines, however. Testing teams have sorted out all the combinations and verified that single-core users wonâ€™t be short-changed on the exciting gameplay, while users of multi-core systems will see the difference with better effects and physics simulation as the core count increases.

It also describes a nice graph with the possible system specs for the new release;

Damn.. I need to upgrade.. :cry:

my pc:

-windows xp-professional
-1 GB RAM
-2.22 GHz Celeron
-256 mb (GeForce 6200 )

so i dont think i can handle those "requirÃ«ments"

but anyway, lets keep it by youtube movies soon then :wink:

I dont think soooo many ppls go to buy a new pc or upgrade it just for this game... i think it will be flop like ETQW..

so no Wolfenstein for pancake ): not available in germany -_-

You have a source for that? I know the official website is still sort of blocked in Germany but when RTCW was released they also released a censored version for Germany. W:ET is kinda censored for everyone, in terms of Nazi symbolism (custom maps/gfx not included).

It would imo be very foolish of Activision not to release it in such a big gaming country like Germany.

Of course the rest of us in 'free' Europe can always rent an old B52 to air drop some copies in your backyards

IMHO:

The specs shown in the intel picture are NOT the official requirements to play Wolfenstein 2. Its just demonstrating "mooreÂ´s law" which says, that every couple of years (actually 2) the hardware capabilities double - or something like that. Moore was/is working for intel. And what hardware specs will a company mention, while advertising a new game? Of course their recent generation.

Based on anticipated recommended specifications for Wolfenstein PC.

My preferred dictionary says (among others), anticipated is another word for imaginary.

Nevertheless, Wolfenstein will be a new game and if your PC just hardly manages to get ET running, you will need to upgrade (like for every other 2008/9 game, too).

Lil question... Will the new Wolfenstein be available for Linux platforms?? (tried to search about that some weeks ago but didn't find any reliable source...)

by **mephir** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 18:54

Its based on the same engine like ET:QW. And there is afaik still a native QW-client.
So, its quite likely that thereÂ´s one for W2, too.

I already added it about 2 weeks ago. You can watch it there without any annoying age restriction btw.

Ye just figured that Wolfenstein 2 will run the ID Tech 4 engine which is Linux compatible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Tech_4). So there will be a Linux version... (as mentioned here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Castle_Wolfenstein_2)
Wheeeeeeeeee

God bless wikipedia

by **wardew** » Sat May 23, 2009 12:42

are you ready for surfing on the new idtech4 lagometer...? :roll:

forgot the stability of ET and others game based on idtech3... bye :wink:

by **mephir** » Sat May 23, 2009 16:06

Means, id tech 4 lags on your machine? :lol:

Dunno why there should be any network lags. Get faster connection.

Wolfenstein North America Release Date - August 4th

We have officially announced that Wolfenstein will be released across the 360, PS3 and PC platforms on August 4th in North America!

We're really excited and can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it!

Yay for release date!!

Also, the EU release dates are still TBA, so stay tuned for that info.

From: http://www.wolfenstein.com/board/viewto ... f=16&t=353

Hmm, lets hope they release some kind of beta/demo before that or at least a multiplayer preview.
But with only 2 months to go I don't think that's gonna happen

by **deep** » Fri May 29, 2009 0:53

will it be at quakecon this year?
i think they will release beta for the tournament, like it was with etqw

by **mephir** » Fri May 29, 2009 13:48

Looking forward to august.

by **Fefe** » Fri May 29, 2009 18:57

I dont get it!

will it be like our beloved ET ?

? im dumb O_o

Yeah, that's what a lot of people (ET/RTCW players) hope

The single player will have a lot of Call of Duty like features by the looks of it, details of the multiplayer are still kinda foggy. Looking at the screenies you can see that they scaled the classes down from 5 to 3, kept the Axis but replaced the 'American' allies for a French resistance group.

All of that running on a similar engine as ET: Quake Wars, which could turn out great or just awful as hell

Especially when they incorporate stuff like Iron Sight, special abilities (Veil powers), unlockable weapons and ranked servers...

by **wardew** » Fri May 29, 2009 23:34

after 8 years from RTCW we could still wait for idtech5 engine and get finally a next generation game... :roll:

anyway the idtech4 was an amazing engine on 2007... surely now is at range of more players.. :wink:

by **Arno** » Sat May 30, 2009 11:19

I can't await the game (:

I'm going to buy it for X box 360

by **Ammz** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 21:00

I just hope multiplayer will be at least as good as ET; which imho is the best multiplayer in any first player shooting game

edit: HOLY SHIT! It needs 3 gb RAM for running!? Crysis needs less than this!
